Salons and employees will be enlisted to help identify violence. COLUMBUS, Ohio Hair stylists and other salon employees will be enlisted to help identify domestic violence and help victims find resources to escape the abuse, Attorney General Jim Petro announced Thursday. The program will be the Ohio version of the national "Cut it Out" anti-domestic violence initiative sponsored by the National Cosmetology Association. The program trains salon employees to recognize warning signs of domestic violence, such as injuries on a potential victim. The program doesn't require the employees to report abuse but gives them suggestions for offering resources -- such as local domestic violence shelters -- to clients who might need help. "The men and women who cut and curl our hair are often in the position to notice bruises and injuries that no one else could see," said Phyllis Carlson-Rhiem, director of Columbus-based ACTION Ohio, a resource group for battered women. "Hair care professionals are in the position to offer resource information that could help lead a victim to safety." Source from "nbc4columbus.com"
